CENTRAL TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
THE CHANGE OF POLICY CAUSED BY THE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.

THE CHANGE OF POLICY CAUSED BY THE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Feb. 9.-The exc
cutive committee Of the Central Traffic
Association held an important meeting
here to-day. John Newell, President Of
the Lake Shore Road, presided. Among
the prominent railroad men present were
j. n. Mccullough, First ViCe-PreSident
of the Pennsylvania Company; Judge
Stevenson Burke; President of the Bee
line; Commissioner George S. Blanchard,
Colonel Orlando Smith, Second Vice
President of the Baltimore and Ohio,
and several other high officials.
Commissioner Blanchard delivered
ant address outlining what he thought
Should be the policy of the association in
respect to the interstate commerce act.
A series of resolutions were adopted,
recommending that the Central Traffic
Association be continued with the under
standing that it's business methods be re-
vised to conform to the Interstate law as
the same shall be finally interpreted. The
resolutions set forth that the association
will CO cooperate with the commissioners
appointed under the Interstate law in
securing as far as possible the benefits of
that bill.
Commissioner Blanchard, in an inter
view after the meeting, said there
was no doubt in his opinion
but that an efficient association
could be maintained in the face Of strict
ures as to the pooling clauses in the
interstate law. He explained that the
general public had an erroneous impress
sion regarding the object of the Central
Traffic Association. Its real purpose
was to maintain rates, and the pooling of
business was only one of the means
adopted to attain this object. The new
law provided for the maintenance of
rates henceforth, but it does not fix what
these rates shall be, and the object of
the association hereafter will be to eff
feet an agreement between its members
as to what rates they shall establish. A
copy of the resolutions has been sent
to all the trunk lines.

Suffering in Texas.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 6.-J. H.
McCarty, a resident OF Somerset, Alas
cosa county, arrived in this city yester-
day, having been forced to leave his home
on account of the severity of the drouth
which now afflicts the agricultural. dis
tricts of the state. Mr.. McCarty says the
people in the vicinity of Somerset and
Renton are holding meetings daily to de-
vise ~ means ms Of obtaining food for large
portion Of the community, who are IN
need of the common necessities. Many
have deserted their homes to search Tor
more favored localities. Unless there is
rain at a very early day the situation Will
be pitiable. The drouth here get fence
cutters to work again, and ranchmen who
own enclosed streams or tanks have their
fences cut nightly. The ministers of San
Antonio have appointed a committee to
wait on the mayor and, and request .sa. that that,
lied relief may be extended to the suffer-
ing planters.

The Ladies Of Lima.

The ladies Of Lima are all eyes They
have the reputation of being, as class,
the most beautiful in the world, and meet.
ing them on the way to mass in the morn.
ing or shopping later in the day, one can
see how they obtained it. But, knowing
them in their homes, the opinion changes,
and you conclude after calm reflection
that they are not SO pretty as the women
of New York. 1t is the manta, which
they wear in such coquettish way, that
gives them their reputation for beauty,
for it conceals every feature except their
bewitchins eyes and lovely olive COM
plexion. No matter how ugly her mouth
or her nose is; no matter how high her
cheek bones or largo her ears; no matter
whether she is as scrawny as a scarecrow
or as bald as bat, a manta will make
any woman with pretty eyes look hand
some, and, like charity, it covers multi
tude of sins. The garment, which is
peculiar to Peru, and is worn by ladies OF
all ages and social positions, from the
presidents wife to the laundress who
comes after your linen, is a sort of foster
sister to the 1nantiiia of Spain. 1t is usu-
ally of crepe from China, and costs any
where from SO to $500, according to its
quality. y.-Buenos Ayres Herald.

Ellendae Commercial.
About twelve carloads of Russian I'M
migrants have arrived in Glendale by
theMilwaukee line during the past week.
All of them are locating in the coteau re-
gion, some going to the northern extrem-
ity of Mcintosh county, and others to the
headwaters OF the Beaver creek, in Lo-
gan county. Such an influx of immigra-
tion has nevar before been witnessed in
that picturesque land. The Russian
settlers of North Dakota have not been
slow to perceive the advantages and in
trinsic value of the coteau region, with
it's fertile valleys and boundless mead
ows. They have induced their brethren
who are this year coming to the territory,
to 60 in and possess what they can of
that goodly heritage. As consequence,
the greater portion of the unoccupied
lands in Logan and Mcintosh counties
will be taken up before the close of the
the present season. Between the
immigrants and the old settlers Glendale
merchants are getting genuine boom.

A Railroad Rupture.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The failure to agree
upon basis for the division of rates to
and from Mississippi river points and
Missouri river business, and points be-
yond, has caused complete rupture be-
tween the lines east from Chicago and
those west from this city. All through
billing Of freight between points. in the
east and Missouri rlver points via Chca-
90 have been stopped. The eastern roads
charge local rates to Chicago. The local
rates are adde d from Chicago and vest
ern points, which, of course. make the
rates via Chicago materially higher than
via St. Louis. Besides all freight from
the east has to be rebilled at Chicago
The roads running west from Chicago
are determined, it is said, to resist the de-
mands of the eastern lines with all the
means at their command.

Prospective Rate.

The new rates on fuel are said to be
something beyond any expectation. From
Detroit, Mimi, the rate on wood is thir-
teen cents hundred, or $500 on the
cord for freight alone, and $1.55 cents is
advanced on coal from Duluth, per ton.
The contemplation of the grain rate alone
is not cheerful, but an almost prohibitory
rate on fuel will be serious draw back
to this country, without it is changed.
